Is this the mtime and UUID of the new filesystem or the old one?  It
should be the UUID and mtime of the new filesystem, so that the
undo file can be verified against the current superblock.  This poses
a bit of a problem, because that information isn't saved until after
the mke2fs run is finished.

One possibility is to overwrite this information at the end of mke2fs
after the new UUID and mtime are written?

Cheers, Andreas
